About Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Basic information and contact details for Norwegian University of Science and Technology

institution

Although the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) specialises in engineering, technology and natural sciences, it also has students, teachers and researchers across social sciences, health sciences, medicine, arts and humanities.

It is the largest university in Norway, which has only eight universities, and has been restructured to amalgamate various institutions, museums and academic societies since 1760.

The two main campuses – Gløshaugen for engineering and sciences and Dragvoll for humanities and social sciences – are both located in the city of Trondheim. There are other campuses for marine technology, medicine, archaeology, music and art.

In 2016 NTNU merged with three university colleges to form a new university with more campuses in the area.

Around 39,000 students are enrolled at the university, half of which study natural sciences or technology courses. Just under 10 per cent of the student population are international, and the university has exchange agreements with 60 different universities around the world.

More than 30 master’s programmes are taught in English and students organise the International Student Festival in Trondheim with renowned speakers each year.

The university library is made up of 17 branches containing 2 million volumes and hundreds of thousands of electronic books and journals.

In addition to 10 main faculties, the university also consists of a business school, the NTNU University Museum, and the university colleges.

NTNU had around 85,000 applications to study in 2011, around four times the total student population across all disciplines and levels of study. Nearly half of all students are women.

The University of the South Pacific (USP) is seeking an exceptional leader as its next Vice-Chancellor and President (VCP). Reporting to the University Council, the VCP is the chief executive officer and principal academic leader of the University, a role of profound regional significance. This appointment presents a rare opportunity to lead a one-of-a-kind institution at a pivotal moment: driving institutional transformation and financial sustainability, championing the centrality of Pacific knowledge systems and values, and positioning USP as an innovative, resilient, and globally respected university serving the Pacific for decades to come. USP is the leading higher education institution of the Pacific region, a unique, multinational university currently jointly owned and governed by 12 Pacific Island member countries: Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu – with Papua New Guinea on the cusp of becoming a full member. One of only two regional universities in the world, USP was established in 1968 and serves a region spanning 33 million square kilometres of ocean. It is a living embodiment of Pacific aspiration, a repository and promoter of knowledge about the history, cultures, and natural environments of the Pacific Islands. USP delivers world-class teaching, research, and community service across a network of campuses and learning centres, combining in-person and flexible distance education to reach learners across the Blue Pacific and beyond. Guided by Pacific values of inclusive and participatory dialogue, USP's mission is to influence Pacific Islanders through the pursuit of excellence in knowledge, improving the lives of individuals and communities, and shaping the futures of generations to come. The next VCP will build upon USP's remarkable strengths and unique regional mandate. They will provide visionary, inclusive, and culturally grounded leadership across geographically dispersed campuses and a diverse student and staff community. They will strengthen USP's research performance, with particular focus on climate change, ocean and environmental sciences, health, governance, and sustainable development, while ensuring excellence in teaching, flexible and distance learning, and a high-quality student experience. They will serve as USP's principal advocate with member governments, regional organisations, and international development partners, forging the relationships and securing the resources needed to sustain and advance the University's mission. The successful candidate will be a courageous, collegial, and values-driven leader with a deep commitment to USP's vision and the peoples of the Pacific. They will bring proven senior leadership experience in a large, complex, and ideally multi-campus institution, with the strategic and financial acumen to navigate a challenging global higher education environment. They will demonstrate a strong track record of institutional transformation and digital innovation, sound governance, robust accountability and ethical integrity, and the ability to build trust across diverse political, cultural, and regulatory environments. An appreciation of Pacific cultures, languages, governance structures, and a genuine respect for the aspirations of USP's member countries will be essential. The Vice-Chancellor and President is based at USP’s Laucala Campus in Suva, Fiji, and is expected to reside primarily in Fiji in order to provide visible and engaged leadership across the University’s regional network. The University of the South Pacific is committed to providing a safe, inclusive and equitable environment that protects the rights of students and nurtures, promotes and facilitates mutual respect, constructive empowerment and progress amongst its employees, students and stakeholders, without being hampered by any form of sexual harassment, sexual abuse or sexual exploitation. We reserve the right to conduct police checks and other screening procedures to ensure a safe environment. USP is an equal opportunity employer and seeks to ensure that everyone is treated with respect and given equal opportunities to work in an inclusive environment.
